Green Man Gaming (Steam) Deals: 25% Off Hitman

Spent my $8.12 Playfire rewards on Bioshock, Minerva's Den and Darkness II.

Only cost less than $2 real money.

Playfire will surely not last forever. How can GMG keep giving out virtually free games like this?

I think you should reconsider, but as long as you can access the storefront, the game key you get will be for your region.

ESO sucks?

Havent heard anything about it, havent really done any research on it either. Was mostly going to be an impulse buy since Diablo 3s expansion blows

most people probably dont own 95% of the games in the promotion like cags do, and boot up said games specifically to get the rewards

Well I hope it carries on forever. This is freaking awesome. It's forcing me to play and finish games in my backlog and then gives me cheap/free games to backlog until they have rewards.

Ummm - you didn't get into any of the recent ESO Betas, did you?

No NDA's when I played - so, I'll speak on it.

If the Beta is any indication from the 10 hours or so that I spent with it, ESO is mediocrity AT BEST. ESO isn't sure if it wants to be a SP game or a MMO - as it tries to do both, but it fails at being good in either category. While ESO's performance was not good in the Beta and the game having bugs are kind of expected for a Beta and can be overlooked a bit b/c it was in Beta - it's the boring questing; not-so-great voice-acting (sounded phoned-in, to me); and writing so "meh" that this even makes Bethesda look like Gods at writing dialogue + prose that ALL really turned me off w/ this game.

I hope the game and its first 10 hours got overhauled since the Beta, which I played a few weeks back. But to me - things didn't feel promising.

God knows how old that ESO Beta build was...

But If it's in a similar state of the Beta - this thing looks like it's ready for B2P or F2P.

Laf. I bought Minerva's Den on GMG. Didn't have enough credit for BS2, figured I'd just grab it some other time since it's always going on sale. Steam won't let me activate it. I had no idea that restriction was in place. Seems pretty arbitrary.

On Steam, you must have the BASE-GAME activated on your account BEFORE you activate any DLC's and EXPANSIONS.

He's RIGHT about THAT. It just makes SENSE when you THINK about IT.

He's right, but it doesn't make sense. Maybe a few years ago, but DLC is a big enough thing now, and it goes on sale separately enough from the base games that it doesn't make sense to restrict people from activating DLC codes for a game they don't have yet. Keep them from installing/playing it, sure, but buying/activating it? There's no upside to that restriction.

It means you have to buy the game. Maybe now that you have the dlc that you can't activate, you'll buy the game quicker than you would normally. Maybe even before it hits its next big sale.

That's why they do it that way.

You'll be glad you didn't activate DLC first, if somehow you say get your hands on a Bioshock 2: Complete Edition key.

(Does that even exist now?)

That way, you can do something w/ your un-activated key - give it away, trade it, whatever.

Most games on Steam, if you activate say a bundle-key that contains also something you've already activated - you don't get an extra key.

It goes to WASTE. ;(

Very rarely, does Steam give you extra copies from activations:

OK, maybe it'll MAKE more SENSE IF I make different WORDS CAPITALIZED this time?

HE's right ABOUT that. It JUST makes sense WHEN you think ABOUT it.

That picture is woefully outdated. Sure he did nothing before getting it, but after he got it he sure did plenty (see: drone strikes). They really should take it back, even if he only got it in the first place for "not being Bush".

Edit: Sorry, sorry. Regardless of political ideology, you have to admit he didn't deserve it. I remember being at college when they announced it, and people literally booed at the news. Even back then everybody knew it was ridiculous (he was in office, what? Less than a year?) , nevermind the fact that he's done a lot of "not peaceful" stuff since then.

A guy on another messageboard said he had ~$5.50 in credit and it expired. I don't recall ever seeing deadline information on Playfire--anybody else know anything about it?

 
I don't know about credits expiring.  I joined the program when it first started and I have not seen any acquired credit go away unless I spent it.  On a side not  I must be a #FakeCAG because I don't have any of the bundled games for the rewards today and that makes me sad.

Jenny! JENNY!!!!! Or w/e her name was. I think it was Jenny. If you're the type who likes a game like Spec Ops then you'll like Darkness 2. If you want more S in your FPS with weapon variety, level design, etc. you're better off looking elsewhere.

But Darkness II lets you fling rebar to staple dudes to walls and cut them in half with flying car doors. If that ain't weapon variety, I dunno what is.

Does anyone know the status of the STALKER franchise? I remember hearing a rumor, over a year ago, that Bethesda had bought it, but that turned out to be false.

Supposedly BitComposer bought it, then it turned out that they bought the rights to Roadside Picnic instead which didn't really include it and now them and the remnants of GSC both claimed to own the rights. No idea where it went from there.

You unlocked Around the World on 5 Trampolines in Goat Simulator

£0.25

They fixed it!

  • Dear Esther - play for the first time - £0.10
another bundle game without cards.

They Bleed Pixelz: 2.49 - 0.1 (credit back) - 1.6 (playfire) - 4x0.13 (cards) = $0.27

0.13 is for cheapest, most are worth more.

Probably worth buying. :p

 
I was going to buy they bleed pixels...but it was .27 cents i wanted to save.  I hear that game is shittier then Lost Planet and I don't believe it...but I also wasnt going to take the chance.  The only way they will force that retro garbage on me is in a bundle because...I can't resist those.

 
And my credit jumped another $20 :lol:

Too bad my crap comp can't run Dark Souls II, since I can just about afford to get it entirely on credits without a coupon.

 
Has anyone received any credits from Playfire since their "update" ?

Because I finally got a response on my ticket saying that I was credited but there has been no change since March 14th, even though I've done over 10 achievements since.  :twoguns:

Yeah, I have some credit as recently as last week.

 
If anyone hasn't played Type Rider yet you have one day left to get PF Rewards for it.

It's actually a pretty enjoyable little game too, you can knock it out in one night.
